The book presents a variety of methods for computer simulations of crystal defects in the form of "numerical recipes", complete with computer codes and analysis tools. By working through numerous case studies and problems, this book provides a useful starter kit for further method development in the computational materials sciences. - ;This... more...

Melvin Lax was a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, and widely known for his contributions in the field of random processes in physics. This book uniquely presents Lax's theoretical treatment of random processes, including applications to laser and semiconductor physics, light propagation in scattering media, and investment decisions.... more...

This monograph, the first of its kind on the mathematical model of spontaneous potential well-logging, proves the well-posedness of the model, and proposes three efficient schemes of numerical solution, supported by a number of numerical examples. more...
